Lake Trail Thrift Store will stay open thanks to community support.
On Thursday (Jan. 18), store owner Mathew Townsend posted a call for financial help. Within ten hours, his store received enough support that it would survive another month.
“It’s overwhelming,” said Townsend. “I didn’t expect that at all. There’s a lot of people just stopping by to drop off money.”
Earlier that morning, Townsend posted on social media for Lake Trail Thrift Store.
